  • Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor

    Just finished watching DTB, and I came upon this;


    Darker than Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



    Sequel

    Main article: Darker Than Black: Ryūsei no Gemini
    A document containing information about Bones staff and production details, was leaked onto the Japanese filesharing site uploader.jp, within the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format, on July 2008.[19] Among other details, including confidential contact information in regards to Bones staff members, it revealed that a second Darker than Black and Fullmetal Alchemist series was in production and were being directed by Tensai Okamura and Yasuhiro Irie respectively.[19] This information regarding Fullmetal Alchemist, which had never been previously released, was later proven to be true on January 2009.[19] In an official statement posted on Bones' official website, co-founder and president Masahiko Minami claimed that the document was not released by the studio themselves but by an unnamed third-party. In a later statement, Minami also stated in regards to the two new series, "It hasn't been decided yet. We are interested in doing them. As original science-fiction works, they were extremely fascinating. With these kinds of dramatic story lines, I feel that there's a lot we could do potentially."[20] Six months later, however, the second series for Fullmetal Alchemist was confirmed to be in production with Yasuhiro Irie as director, thus confirming the document's validity.[19] The second Darker than Black series was confirmed in the 12th issue of Square Enix's Young Gangan Magazine.[21] In the 14th issue of Young Gangan, the title was revealed as Darker than Black: Ryūsei no Gemini (DARKER THAN BLACK-流星の双子-, Dākā Zan Burakku -Ryūsei no Gemini-?, lit. "Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor"). The sequel began airing in October 2009 and ended in December 2009.[22] At Anime Expo 2010, Funimation Entertainment announced that they licensed the second season and will be released in 2011.[23]

    If you didn't like the ending to the first series then the ending to the second series will make you rage all the more

        I never understood the popularity that show got. It was a fun watch at the time but I've completely forgotten the plot since I watched it a couple years ago.

          What's there to understand about it?

          If you didn't get much into it then you didn't get much into it. End of story.

            Meh, I suppose that makes sense.

              Actually the endings to both series of Darker Than Black both make fun of the ending to Eva.

                ^ I didn't pick up on that since I didn't watch all of Eva.


                And I liked the dub, Funimation is one of the few groups (Sunrise being the other I like, such as Inu Yasha and Gundam) that gets very good English Dubs. Truthfully the only NA dub to annoy the hell out of me in recent memory is Naruto because it's just so bad but DTB was very enjoyable. Funimation did an outstanding job with FMA too.

                  Re: Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor

                  I finished the first series today and I was pretty happy with the ending. It seemed like a much less drug-induced version of Evangelion's ending. The "moral" was more or less the same. Usually I'm terribly disappointed by the endings of shows that are predicated on some huge underlying mystery like FMA and Mnemosyne because the explanation is never as awe-inspiring as whatever amorphous thing you imagined it might be. DTB left a LOT of questions unanswered about the nature of the gate etc etc and it was fine because those details weren't really important to the story they were trying to tell.

                  Downloading seasons 1.5 and 2 now. Are they pretty good?
